No changes here in the 17, but the naming of Jayden Brailey on the reserves indicates the young hooker may lineup on Saturday night.

From L.U, and the comments are their's not mine.

Please discuss in 1000 words or less.

 

[tom of poland]

as expected, minimal changes but I'm heartened to see the names Paulo and Brailey.

 

[Snoop Shark]

Well that was no surprise.

That cowboys team CAN beat us on our last couple of weeks form.

 

[MilkShark]

Same team as last week, probably same result as last week.

Flano is the new Hasler.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Quick, sack somebody.

 

[Quigs]

Ive stopped worrying about it. Ive been waiting for the past six or so games for us to start to click, get consistent and fire up.

I'm like the old commuter that chased hard but just missed the last bus. I'm still holding onto the ticket and I hope we get there .............. but !!!!!

 

[Snoop Shark]

Quick, sack somebody.

It's more about promoting rather than sacking.

You surely can't think Capes is currently the best centre we have at this point in time?

Capes on the bench as a forward would suit the overall dynamics of the squad better.

 

[shaggs]

I actually don't mind capewell vs linnet. Bigger body and not the type to try and go around capewell.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

Same team as last week, probably same result as last week.

Flano is the new Hasler.

Lol get off the heroin

 

[sandshark]

Not surprised really. They'll be better this week I hope. No excuses.

Bullshyte Snoop. To promote, you gotta sack. Last thing needed is destabilisation by knee jerking to a couple of losses. It's especially important not to blood new players in Round 24. It's too late and would further upset the rythym of a team which has lost some.

Its the right team

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Well how much longer do you persist?
Dragons rolled the dice last week & it paid of very very well. Could be the Preston of their season.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I blame the forwards.

There is just no way they are playing anything like what they were in defence compared to last year.

Lack of line speed, genuine aggression throughout the match and they have been guilty of not winning the ruck in matches particularly against Manly, Titans, Raiders and Broncos.

You lose the ruck fair chance you'll lose the game.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I will add that we didn't lose the ruck too many times when we had Ennis at hooker.

 

[txta2]

They aren't getting directed around the park properly. When the hookers are misfiring and the halfback is a flop None of those merkins got over a hundred metres. If the coach had balls Capewell , Prior and Nu would be playing for Jets

Yes! I commented after the Raidersgame, players pushing the hooker out of the way to run from dummy half - u/8s...

 

[txta2]

I'm really dissapointed in Prior. Fmd what happened? Only 1 denfensive rush last week and no more solid charges.
Im also hoping Gal stops doing the 4th tackle runs. Its crept back in and was only stopped when Ennis was there.
It stifles their attack, it makes players run wrong lines, it makes them run out of room on deep attacking plays and also makes Chad think he can run through a half gap which has done once in his career. Barba could deal with it but not Holmes.

It ain't moving heaven and earth frenz.

Some shuffling could be made with the current mob. I don't mind the idea of Beale to fullback, val to wing. Capes to bench and a youngster to step up. It just means a plodder might get the arse on the bench that's all.
